Dude, don’t tell nobody, but I’m giving you the hookup right here, right now.

Dat’s right, I got here an 19 megabyte tarball dat comes with a database and some pee ach pee to utilize it. The database is only 28 megabytes, so it ain’t perfect, but it works in a pinch for the majority of north american visitors. You can set the default city for your LP as well.

Grab the motherfucking tarball.

Take a quick peep at geo.php, it’s pretty understandable shit for any non-php coders.

No more excuses! Don’t use that gay ass javascript shit! It’ll slow down your landing pages like a motherfucker!

Hold your breath. Here’s the AM formula, in code:

clicks = impressions * ctr
cost = cpc * clicks

profit = revenue - cost


Just follow the cookie crumb trail to riches!

The purest form of making money is:

PPC and Affiliate Marketing combined.

Why?  Because it focuses on the bare essentials:

Buy traffic with ads -> Convert traffic to the affiliate offer -> Profit.

The nice thing about this is that it can be scaled easily when you have a working formula.  There are less limitations by buying the traffic you need.  Trying to SEO a site means a limited amount of traffic, and much more beholden to the vagaries of the search engines and your competition.

Downside of this business model: It can be easy for other people to copy your ads and landing pages.

Prosper202 does much better on MySQL 5.1.  Here’s how to install that:

This is a bit of a hack, so first make sure you install mysql:

# sudo pacman -S mysql

Next, you want ABS (which has all of the package build information so you can compile your own version of an already existing package).

# sudo pacman -S abs

# sudo abs

# cp -R /var/abs/extra/mysql ~/

# cd ~/mysql

# wget http://www.foucist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/pkgbuild

# mv pkgbuild PKGBUILD

# makepkg -s

# if it fails, rm -rf src/  and pacman -S base-devel and try again

# sudo pacman -Uf mysql-5.1.30-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz   (the -f forces it to overwrite the existing mysql files)

# sudo /etc/rc.d/mysqld restart

# mysql –version  (should show client version 5.1.30)

# mysql   (should show Server version: 5.1.30)

ta da!
